AMERICAN JOURNAL OF CRIMINAL LAW From its inception in 1972, the American Journal of Criminal Law has been one of the few of nationally recogin zed law journals dedicated exclusively to criminal law. Professors and professionals from all over the nation submit their scholarly works to the editorial board in hopes that their articles will be included in one of the three issues published annually. Journal subscribers include courts, libraries, law firms and law enforcement agencies in all fifty states as well as fifteen foreign countries. It has been cited by the U.S. Supreme Court, U.S. Courts of Appeal and many state supreme courts. Many of the published articles, including a large number of student notes, have been put into the WESTLAW and LEXIS systems. Staff members either write or grade onto the Journal. Write-on competitions for all student publications are held at the end of the Spring semester and the beginning of the Fall semester. Additionally, the Journal has its own exclusive winter write-on competition for first and second year students, usually held in February of each year. After grades for each section of criminal law have been posted, thv Journal invites the top few students of each section to become members. AJCL is the only student legal publication at L'T that allows first years to become staff members during their first year of Law School. Consequently, theJournal is the only L'T legal publication to allow second year students to become editors. This year, AJCL had an editorial board composed largely of second year students, therefore we looked forward to an especially productive year in 1989-90. AJCL is proud of its diverse membership. Despite their extremely different political orientations, the bleeding heart liberals” and neo-fascist conservatives” on the editorial board manage to live, breathe and work in harmony. The Journal is proud to display the largest legal collection of black velvet F.lvis in the Southwest. EDITORIAL BOARD, FRONT ROW: Nina Fanil. I ami Walker. Bridgette Supper. Jeanne Bakker.

CHANCELLORS Becoming a Chancellor was one of the greatest and most difficult honors a law student could receive, for invitation to the group was based solely on grade point averages. Each semester, the eight students maintaining the highest grade point were named Chancellors. Only students who had completed 42 semester hours and were not yet members were eligible for consideration. Created to recognize scholars who were most likely to strengthen their profession, the Chancellors remained strong 77 years after its formation. Professor David Anderson served as the advisor and mentor for the group. Each semester’s Chancellors were given honorary titles that reflected their academic ranking among the group. The Fall 1987 Chancellors, who were named the following semester, were: Grand Chancellor Lisa Schiavo, Vice-Chancellor Scott McClain, Clerk Geoffrey Polma, Keeper of the Per- egrinus Larry Walraven and Chancel-lors-at-Large Michael Brown, Kirkmichael Moore, Ellen Snyder and Allison Mantor. Spring 1988 Chancellors, named in the Fall of 1987, were: Grand Chancellor Arthur Catterall, Vice Chancellor Faith Steinberg, Clerk Alistair B. Dawson, Keeper of the Peregrinus Doug Ray, Chancellors-at-Large Ernest Blansfield, Jill Gary, Lauren Ravkind and Greg Hesse. FALL 1987: FRONT ROW: Allison Mantor, Lisa Schiavo. Mi-chad G.

ENRLS The F.rvironmental and Natural Resources Law Society (ENRLS) keeps law students in touch with the real world. ENRLS brings speakers to the Law School to discuss current environmental and natural resources issues, and provides employment information for the public interest, government and private sectors. F.NRLS provides information about Austin organizations involved in envi- ronmental and natural resource issues for members interested in more activist activities. To generate local environmental awareness, the Society maintains an ongoing aluminum can recycling project in the Law School. For fun, the group organizes campouts and day trips in the beautiful surrounding Texas Hill Gauntry. F.NRLS is a member of the National Association of Environmental Law Societies and sent representatives u Michigan last year and Colorado thi year for national conferences. While many of the members are avid tree-hugging environmentalists, mart others are of a more conventional breed. F.NRLS is a broad-based organization that provides a forum for discussion and sometimes debate on environmental and natural resource, issues. FRONT ROW: Karen Garnett. Vice President: Susan White.
